My second yarn Dalek was created for my friend, L_. It was a custom job, based on the Emperor Dalek. Here he is:
L_ and I had a great time at the Gallifrey 2008 Doctor Who COnvention. We met so many nice people and basically had a lot of fun.
There was a lot of knitting at Gallifrey 2008. I finished about 1/2 of my second Harry Potter Ravenclaw scarf [I still have 1/2 a Hufflepuff to do]. But not all the knitting was done by me. I saw at least 6 ladies knitting and 2 ladies crocheting during the sessions. There was even a woman knitting a dalek, which looked fab, I saw it when it was finished.
In other Gallifrey/knitting news. People really dug my scarves! I even had a guy come up to me and commission me to make him a scarf. Keep your fingers crossed that he e-mails me to confirm...I quoted him a price of $75 to $100 and he didn't flinch. We shall see. Not like I don't have the time, ya know being unemployed and all.
What else am I knitting? Still working on the Jaywalker socks. I am going through the "second-sock-syndrome" right now, where I seem to be avoiding finishing the 2nd sock. It isn't that I don't like the pattern or don't want the socks. I don't know what it is...I got sock block.
Also haven't touched the afghan for my couch in months. I am sure I will be inspried to work on it once it hits summer and it is too hot to have that thing in my lap while I am knitting.
Also haven't touched the Anne Lace Shawl in months. THAT is flat out avoidence of the lace pattern. It never fails that I get really cooking on it and I mess it up royally, then I have to rip back...blah blah blah...two steps forward, one step back.
I have all the yarn to complete my Noro Silk Garden cable bag now, I just have to go through the tediousness of knitting the strap and then sewing the pieces together. I am going to try the matress stitch, I think it will make a nice edge. I will probably be too lazy to line the bag.

I love the Daleks they are hilarious! I can't wait to see that bag all done. It is looking beautiful. I know what you mean about the blanket. I have on in Manos wool that is like 98% finished! I had better get to it soon or I won't be able to use it. Good luck with that scarf. I know the guy will contact you soon!! See you Saturday?
What beautiful projects you are working on. I love that lace shawl, the colors are great! Glad you had fun at your convention.
